Lego Game Club - July 8, 2010

2010-07-23T18:14:00.000-07:00

Our second Lego Game Club was held on Wednesday, July 8th at 2pm. Our photographer was unable to make this meeting so our pictures are a bit sparse, but you can still check them out at this link.

Thank you to all the participants and volunteers who continue to make this club a success. We had another donation of Duplo blocks recently so that we were able to offer a "preschool" area for the younger siblings.

If you haven't been able to make a Lego Game Club yet this summer, you have one more chance. Our last summer meeting will be on August 4th at 2pm. Don't forget to bring your library card if you want to play with wheels or people!

We have been busy this summer at Mission Trail Library! We kicked-off our summer reading program, "Make a Splash - READ!" on June 14th, and then on Wednesday, June 17th we held our first Lego Game Club of the summer.

We filled the room with 48 kids and adults, not to mention our very helpful and awesome teen volunteers. We played lego board games, built some cool lego creations and raced lego cars. A good time was had by all. If you would like to check out the pictures, go to this link.
